It was a job well done, I thought.
So what would be the alternative? What technique would you use that would not result in a safe landing??
Well, he could've chosen to land on grass or an area other than the runway, like some do. That increases the probability of the props digging in (soft surface) and the aircraft coming to an abrupt halt, possibly ground looping or even flipping if the speed is a bit high. This can cause the occupants of the aircraft some rather nasty injuries, possibly fatal, though only likely when all 3 are stuck up.
Those who have faced this type of ordeal may be able to shed some more light on it, perhaps?
